4 Types of Lavender Plants
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- With a wide range of lavender varieties available, it can be confusing to consider which one is best for scent, for cut stems and for the garden. I'll discuss 4 types of lavender plants that would all be suitable for your landscape or containers - focusing on their scent and growth characteristics. The varieties I'll cover are: English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Lavandin (L. x intermedia), Spanish Lavender (L. stoechas) and Fringed Lavender (L. dentata). I'm planning to start a whole bunch more from seed this winter, as well as by cuttings in spring - so if you're planning a foray into lavender as well, you may want to check back in!

Thanks! Such a good to-the-point layout! Clear and organized. Got a good overview of types and the 'why' of them in a short amount of time. Super!
Thank you again for your appreciation and decor for theses species! Refreshing to hear one educate with such passion!
Passionate is not always equal to education. Passion is a step beyond 💜
Great educational video as per usual. My favourite is English Lavender not just for the fragrance but I love the whispey flowers. Again thank you from New Zealand for all the quality information you give everyone 😊
I feel inspired to try again! I have done multiple attempts without success, however, mine self seed on occasion ! Thanks for the great info!
I wish I’d seen this video before I planted last year! Will go back and get some Hidcote or Munstead for growing with my roses here in Oregon, THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍🌿!!!!
thanks for that !!! I keep telling people that the lavander from France is NOT the same as what we find usually in California, but no one ever believes me.
Great video! I just started my lavender growing journey & needed some back ground basic knowledge. I really appreciate how condensed yet info packed your content is. Happy Growing! 🌱
I am from South Africa... Dude you rock! Really enjoy listening to no nonsense advice of plants. I will be using advice in the coming months... Thanks again!
Good to hear from you Leon. Have a great spring!
I'm from Botswana ❤😊🤝
I love the look and smell of lavender! Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful. I grew Spanish lavender for several years and every year praying mantises laid egg cases in them. Spanish lavender is far less aromatic than English lavender, but is more forgiving of poor soil, extreme heat and dry spells. The Anouk variety spread easily and gave me gorgeous blooms all summer long. This was in the foothills in the northern part of zone 7, so it was almost a zone 6.
Thanks for sharing your growing experience.
Thanks for your calm way of working
Looking to extend my lavender area. Definitely interested in your future vlogs on this subject.
Thanks for your very clear explanation of different varieties.
Hi Fraser! I love all your lavender videos, they're very helpful. I just bought some english lavender seeds but it didnt say what variety it is. Wish you can make a video showing different varieties, specially the english ones, for identification purposes. Thank you for sharing your awesome videos!
amazing points and a well made presentation! your expertise radiates
Brilliant video as ever thank you Jason. Take Care Natalie 😀
Thanks Natalie. I appreciate the feedback.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I’ve learned quite a lot
Great, informative video and I appreciate the fact that you get straight to the point.
That is so true and makes his content much more valuable.🌺
Thank you so much. I have a bush of lavender but it's not like any kind I could find on the internet. Consequently, I didn't know how to harvest it to use the seeds for sachets. In this video I learned that what I have is SPANISH LAVENDAR. Thank you so much. I now can chase that up and learn how to use it.
I've only ever seen Lavandula dentata here in central america, and to me it smells amazing. I can't imagine how great the others must smell !
That got me thinking as well. Mine is purple
Very helpful, it definitely helps me decide on one, thank you!
thank you. i wish you had pictures of these plants in bloom so we can associate with the great info.
Thanks again for a great educational video! I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.
Am I the only person that think lavender is purple not blue?
Ab H ya me to but everyone sees color differently 🙃
Purple id say
purple to me
I've always said purple too lol lavender is purple 💜
Lavender to me 😏
I love great bushes (I grow Provence) filled with happy bees!
Thank you for your video, it’s really helpful to me as new to plant Lavender ❤
Another excellent video. I am from the UK so grow the English Lavender which is looking lovely! Its nice to learn about all the different types of lavender.
Thanks Lesley. I found another new one to experiment with this year: fernleaf lavender (L. multifida) with is quite feathery, even moreso than L. dentata. I'm enjoying it so far.
So much information! Thank you for doing this!
Grow lavender here from seeds
Looking forward to your video on cuttings
Informative as always Cheers
SMILES 👍🇬🇧
Thanks!
Love lavender , I make potpourri and for keeping the silver fish away from my clothes in the cupboards .🥰🌱🌱
Nice video ..🌱🥰❤
Here in France we also grow what you call Spanish Lavender, here we call it Butterfly Lavender (Lavande Papillon).
Love all your videos ..... my ‘go to videos’ for superb advice. Thank you 🙏👍
Thanks Hazel
Thank you for the info in this video!
Thank you so much, this video is most helpful.
One plant that I don’t have, thanks for sharing your information 👍❤️😊
Excelente información sobre lavanda! Muchas gracias!
Lavendula dentata is the one we mostly find here in gardens in Sydney, Australia. Sometimes people have spanish lavender, but dentata is far more common. It's actually difficult to find other varieties around here. Another that grows okay in Sydney is lavendula canariensis, or canary island lavender. The scent and habit of the plants are very different, but the flowers are a similar, beautiful purple.
Oh my cant wait on this. I presently have Munstead seeds on a damp paper towel in a ziploc bag in my frig . I read to leave them there 4 wk. then bring them out to germinate. Hope it works.
I'll have my fingers crossed for your seedlings
Excellent information! Thank you so much 😊
My pleasure - and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the information!!
Awesome, informative video! Thank you!!
I appreciate your teaching of lavender. Because I have been forever trying to grow the English lavender but I live in Arizona south of West of Phoenix so it's really hot here and the only lavender they sell from your listing was the fringe lavandula. But I would like to see if I can find the Spanish lavender because the lavendulla I have is very green and foliage and has real leggy stems and it seems like the green leafy part when you crush it with your fingers that's what smells like lavender the flowers don't smell at all.
I use lavender dentata as a hedge & its magnificent
Good to hear Tess. Thanks!
Thank you again👍🏽👏🏾🙏
Hello, I found your rose videos after I ordered a damask for mother's day gift and have really appreciated your videos! Thank you so much! In my area we were supposed to have our last frost so I've been doing my spring planting and matinence but the temperatures are looking suspiciously frosty again. Any general advice for keeping things healthy and avoiding dropping blooms when the weather keeps switching?
Thank you for this good video
I would love to have a row of lavender!!❤️
Great video
Great video 👍
Great information, thank you!
Scotland's are beautiful and i believe made for Europe people's nerves. Mandatory.
Fringed lavender is the one I see the most of in my area in mexico
Thanks Alejandro - good to know what will thrive in a warmer climate
I love lavender thanks for posting.
nice concise info, ty
i just bought an Spanish Lavender, I live in Portland, Oregon, so it might die in winter :( Gonna have to go buy an English Lavender now! Thanks for the great video!
@Claudia Abney I've never been to Portland but I believe it rains a lot where you are, cold and not much snow during winter (according to the internet) so it sounds pretty much like my climate. I live in the Netherlands, where it rains. A lot. And my Spanish Lavender survives the winters here just fine. What helps is good drainage soil.
I purchased lavandula Vera from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and was wondering what type of lavender this was? Going to try a plant it in zone 7 Virginia.
Thanks for the interesting video.
I recently bought a big, beautiful pot of Mona lavender. The stems break very easily but I was able to root a lot of them in water, then planted them in the yard. I hope they will make it.
I'll cross my fingers for you!
Tqvm for the info. I really want to know about this 👍❤️
Glad it was helpful - thanks for watching
I like the Spanish Lavender called Dedication.
Beautiful Lavenders!
Hello! I have a Spanish lavender plant shaped into a topiary ( I bought it like that ). It bloomed and when the blooming was over I cut it back 50 % as was recommended. The plant grew and was happy but lately the leaves on the lower part of the branches have become brown. I wonder if I overwatered? The plant is in full sun every day for about 7 hours.
I do like lavender I put it in my chook house to repel bugs and in the chook nests..sharing this vlog
Nice. I hadn't thought of that!
What's a "chook house"?
@@LGnLA Chooks is Slang for Chickens, in Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Islands. Chook House is where they live. 😄
I love lavender so much because I have anger explosive disorder and. That has me down it's soothing just like when I listen to music I have ADHD disorder severe one and I have frustration to the lot so I love lavender so much
So nice to hear a natural solution so helpful!
There might be a hurricane heading for the house where I am
If I remember correctly I have grosso lavender. I have had it a very long time. Any information on this as I am not really sure it’s a grosso.
I was sold Grosso and phenomenal lavender...and bumble (something)… to line the side of my handicap ramp. How should I arrange them? Im starting to think I was taken. lol any help would be appreciated
Lavender! I really need to visit our local lavender farm. They grow it surrounded by gravel. Sometimes the humidity here is too much for lavenders. Although our September here was much too dry. My Spanish lavender plant didn’t bloom, but at least it has survived and its silvery foliage looks nice. Have a great day!
Nice. I'm surprised lavender does fairly well here (Seattle-type rain in fall, winter, spring) - but I suppose the growers pay special attention to preparing well-drained soil. Cheers!
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Yes, lavender seems to adapt well to many different locales. Good drainage and ☀️ must be enough. Hooray for that!
Thank you Jason. Can you give a topic on Hardiness Zone? I love lavender so much, and I live in Hawaii. Can I grow English Lavender?
Thanks Adam. I'll add it to my list.
Is it possible to grow english lavender on warm countries and are all lavenders can be used as spice in food?
I love lavender because of the bees as they absolutely love it. We have lots of it, I never knew which types we had but now it seems we have several of the fringed type and god knows how much of another variety, possibly English. There is quite a bit of it, I cut it all back during the drought as was getting very straggly. It’s looking amazing now.
Thanks Jo - you must have a very fragrant garden!
Thank you ⚜️
My fav Lavandin x intermedia
Hey! Can I ask question ‘bout lavandin if it can grow to tropical places???
Thank you I just bought a bunch of “gross” and I’m in Zone 4, do I add bone meal to the soil when I plant?
How deep should I dig my hole for these tiny new plants I got from a lavender farm. I love your. Videos!
Not much deeper than the pots they came in. Bone meal is fine (it releases pretty slowly)
Thank you for the upload and sharing your knowledge. I am always impressed by your contents and find myself blessed to have found your channel of a such a humble man.
I am not sure if you sell these locally or by mail orders. But, if you do mail order, could you please provide your site? Thanks and take care.
Thanks for your encouragement. I'm sorry but I don't ship into the USA because of import inspections and requirements - but there are loads of good US suppliers. Best wishes!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much for replying. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you're not in the US because I didn't detect any accent what so ever. Take care
Thanks for the information. Very well explained. Do you have a trace of an Irish accent in there somewhere ? I notice it when you pronounce certain words.
Thanks Maureen. Probably not - my closest links to Ireland are genetic only, with several generations in Canada standing between me and a legitimately cool Irish accent.
I got English Lavender from Mechanic at NAPA. I'm in North Dakota
Thank you very much for your videos-I've learned so much , and now know where I've gone wrong. I would really like a lavender for tea -- which is primarily why I (try to) grow lavender. Could you please advise as to which type to choose? thanks so much.
I'd probably pick an English lavender variety myself - like Munstead or Hidcote
Bulgaria has wonderful lavender fields and is in fact the top producer of True Lavender. For me it is the best lavender there is (sorry France)
Lucky you - rose fields and lavender too!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yep. they grow together well. In fact Bulgaria is the number one producer in Europe for herbal plants, in terms of quality and quantity. they have higher etheric content than their counterparts elsewhere because the Bulgarian climate provides the right amount of moisture and sunshine for them. Not saying that elsewhere one cannot find quality plants and oils ...to each their own...but Bulgaria is not in the mind of the average person intersted in oils and aromatic plants, so I am sharing this.
Good looking guy!
Awesome! I got dentata without knowing much about it. It was also the only option at the plant shop. Any chance I can get oil, or at least give it another use?
Hi Sebastian - you can definitely use the leaves just the same as the other lavenders. I like the aroma of angustifolia better, but it's definitely worth growing
Hi! I transplant Spanish lavander one month ago and now they look same size than when was transplanted, why it happens?? What can I do for my littles plants??
What about lavender edelweiss, I found out about it recently, and I would appreciate some information regarding needs and propagation. Thank you!
Hi Lina - same exact method as shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/видео.html
I grew English true lavender and french lavender from the seeds with your suggestions! I'm so happy with results, thanks to almighty and thank you too! They are doing great indoor now!
But bought a lavender plant from store, which is struggling in indoor. There are lights and air circulation system and watering is minimized. I don't know what is going wrong that it began to die bottom up! Will you please make a video on overwintering lavender? I will really appreciate your help on this. Thanks in advance!
Thanks Salma - so happy to hear about your success!
I bought some munstead lavender what do u think about this one
Jason I bought a mixed packed of seed, Alyssum, Aster powder puffs, Sunflowers and Forget me nots. Also Marigold, also Nasturtium Tom Thum mix. Will they be okay to sew there.
Yes, those should be fine. Most of those are fairly low-growing - the sunflowers may be taller, and so I'd be ready to pull some if they begin to crowd or shade the roses. Otherwise it sounds like a nice assortment, and should help to support a good population of beneficial insects.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you for your help. The sunflower is a small variety the packet says but I will definitely keep an eye on them.
*Thank you Sir! And here’s a random fact: Lavender is also good for better sleep.* 😊😊
Thank you for your advices . We live in Arizona . In Summer the weather is very warm. I was thinking to plant a lavender but I want your advice . What is the best plant with nice flower and arome that you recommend?
I suspect the Spanish lavender would do better in the heat
Fraser Valley Rose Farm than you so much
Enjoyed the video but I would like to know how to deadhead an Anouk Spanish Lavender which I am growing in a container on my patio in Niagara Falls, Canada. Do I just remove the spent petals only or the cone-shaped piece the petals grow out of as well?
Hi Lynda. I'd cut below both, cutting the stem of the flower down lower. The whole plant can be trimmed down - so long as you leave 4 to 6 inches of foliage above the woody base of the stem.
My fascination for lavender when I used to live in the Okanagan. I used to travel back and forth between Surrey and back to the Okanagan every 3 weeks. I would see lavender grew on the side of the mountains. I'm just wondering if you know what kind of lavender are they??? Oh forgetting my manners. Thank you very much
I believe I have english and spanish lavender. I had to move my spanish lavender to a pot when it is starting to die under sun heat. It’s starting to heal under the shade and winter direct sunlight (zone 11). But the moment it gets a little hot, it is drying again. why is mine different😂 the english lavender is happy on ground
I have planted a bunch of lavender all along the front of my house. I picked them up from a hardware store for a couple dollars each. The tag on pot said their variety was Lavender Major. But I can't find info on this type. It looks like the Spanish lavender you showed. But it has almost silver foliage. It definitely blooms all year round. I'm constantly cutting off the flowers. I'm in NZ. In a temperate zone. Currently drying some as I was hoping to make my own oils from them but maybe it's the wrong type. Do you know much about a lavender type called Major???
Thanks in advance.
Yes, a variety of stoechas. The scent on these is fine, although maybe not quite so nice as angustifolia (at least to my nose)
Smells good
Thank you for this video. I live in Texas and I am interested in lavender to discourage mosquitoes. I wonder if one type would be preferred. Thank you - Blessings!
I've been to a lavender farm in mosquito season - I can verify that they paid no interest at all to this kind of discouragement.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm oh really - thank you so much for sharing this with me - I live in Texas and mosquitoes are terrible here - I was hoping to try landscaping for mosquitoes. I greatly appreciate your response - thank you so much! If you know of anything that might help I'm interested :)
Jason, I dearly LOVE lavender!!! But.....have not had success growing from seed ever. They just will not germinate, even under grow lights. Have tried many times. I am in zone 8b where it gets super hot in June thru September. Perhaps it is too hot for lavender here? Thanks for a super informative video - really enjoy your channel.
Thanks Kathy - so are you starting your seeds when it's warm, or earlier in the season? Best germination temps would be in the mid-to-low 20's (like 75F or so). Also, the seeds do need light to sprout, so just firmly pressed to the soil surface rather than covered with soil. I hope you don't give up - I've had decent success with seed (especially from Jelitto) and it's a great way to get a lot of plants for not too much money.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks Jason - yes, I have tried growing from seeds indoors in mid January with continuous grow light with warm temps as you described, but with no success. Also, no soil to cover seeds. Oh well, I will keep trying. Thanks again
@@kathycook1815 I've heard lavender needs a stratification period to simulate winter conditions before it can germinate. Maybe look into that. Best of luck!
@@cora5525 Thank you Cora, I will try that.
@@kathycook1815, you can try the paper towel method by putting your lavender seeds onto a wet, damp paper towel and leave it in a sealed sandwich plastic bag then place it by your southside window. After 2-3 weeks you should start to see green sprouts by putting the sandwich bag against bright light. Once the seeds started you can transplant them into potting soil. I have done this 3 times and was able to successfully germinate english lavenders from seeds. Make sure you wash your hands before touching the seeds to eliminate germs getting into the sandwich bag.
There's a lavender that I want to propagate in South Africa. It's flower is about 3 x the size of the Spanish lavender but they stink for days 😅
Thanks.
You're welcome Jasmin
Thank you for the clarification .. I am from Iraq and the weather is hot In the summer, I have questions that I hope you will answer, What is the appropriate temperature for lavender? What is the best type of soil and does it need fertilization?
The English lavender can tolerate some high temperatures (up to 40C perhaps) but the Lavandula stoechas can accept even higher temps (up to 45C). Soil should be relatively well draining, and it does benefit from regular fertilization. Although lavender is pretty drought tolerant once established, they'll need more regular watering to cope with higher temperatures. Watch for signs of wilting to learn how frequently.
Great video! We are in Southern California and we just removed our grass and put in some river rock, a few small palms and some blue fescue. The gophers ruined our yard 🦡 so we're hoping that Lavender would not be an invitation for these critters to return! Do you think that the Spanish Lavender would be a wise choice to discourage gophers, and also to withstand our hot summers ? Thank you.
Thanks - I envy your climate for lavender, and I'm sure they'd all do well for you. Spanish is a great choice. I'm also quite fond of the L. x intermedia hybrids - 'Phenomenal' is quite large, but with a deep color and excellent fragrance, it's worth growing if you have the space.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you for responding to my question. Since we have limited space in the front yard, I'll look for the Spanish Lavender, but when we redesign our backyard, I think I'll look into planting some Phenomenal Lavender. I'm trying to focus on plants that will be pleasing to our hummers, bees and butterflies. Thanks again for posting this informative video explaining the different types of lavender. I just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching all of your videos 😁
I purchased my first lavender plant lavender scentiva (early blue). Is this same as English Lavender?
Yes, Scentiva is a selection of English lavender
Can you do a video comparing growing lavender from seed with a refrigerator winter process vs just plating them.
Hi Jac - with good quality seed, I wouldn't bother even trying a cold period. This last batch I took from Jelitto had nearly 100% germ direct sown.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Fab, thank you!
